my emergency nursing instructor is in the movie Code Black, a documentary about C-booth at LA County Hospital

you can watch an extended clip of it here, if you only have a minute i suggest you watch from 1:05 to 2:10

the full movie is playing this tuesday june 17 at the LA film festival 

after one of our classes i cried for an hour during my commute home.  not sure exactly why, i need to look at that a little more closely

i've definitely gained lots of didactic knowledge but i didn't think it would require so much internal work on my part

it takes a lot of work 

to learn what your triggers are

to find a place that you can go to on the inside

to detach from your prejudices and emotions 

it's not something you can cram for, yanno?
